"Came here on a recommendation from a friend who lives in the neighborhood and glad we decided to try it. It is definitely a local place, but felt very welcome and comfortable. They have bar and table seating available. It is a great place to watch a game too as they have TV’s all over. In regards to the pandemic, mask are required to enter, all staff had on mask, social distancing was in place and each table had hand sanitizer available. Also, during our visit we did see them disinfectant a table. For food, they are known for their chicken fingers, but each dish we had was good. The chicken tenders were battered light, fluffy and buttery and their honey mustard was delicious. They do have different sauces available, but our friend recommended their honey mustard. We shared this as an appetizer, the dish is 6 pieces. For entrees, my boyfriend ordered their full slab of ribs which was a special (on a Saturday). I am personally not a rib person, but these were so good! I actually recommend these over the chicken fingers to be honest. They were cooked perfectly! Charred outside and so soft it came off the bone. I would have preferred more barbecue sauce, but I don’t mind to get a little messy. The ribs came with a choice of soup or salad and we tried their chicken and rice soup which was a broth and this was so good too! We weren’t sure what to expect since we are use to creamy rice chicken soup. I ordered a BLT sandwich which was tasty. I know super basic just a BLT, but they do not skimp on the bacon and the bacon was cooked perfectly and had flavor. Our waitress was so great! She was very friendly and kept checking on us. She was on top of our refills and before we received the ribs, she brought us a basket for the bones, extra napkins, and wet wipes. I’m not sure if this is something that they normally do or if she just did that, either way we appreciated it! I recommend to stop by if you are in the area or craving good soup or ribs."

"Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We were a party of 8. Food came out one plate at a time over the course of about 20 minutes. The first person who got her food was done eating by the time the last person got theirs.. BUT, that wasn’t the worst part. When my husband’s food came out the waiter spilled a HUGE cup of tartar sauce all over his coat and my brother’s coat. My husband’s coat was ruined. The good news is that they did end up buying him a new coat because the stains did not come out. My brother’s stains came out of his coat, but he wasn’t compensated anything for the headache. The whole experience was just AWFUL. My mother had to beg for rags and water to clean up tarter sauce that was literally dripping from their coats. Zero help was given to help us clean everything up. Not one person came running to give us an hand. And we were on our way to see a Christmas parade so they needed their coats to be wearable. The manager had absolutely no remorse and we weren’t given anything to make our experience a little bit better IN THAT MOMENT. In fact, we had to ask to speak with her! Like the least you could do is comp 1 meal?!?! Maybe a free drink or a cookie?!?!?! She was rude, unapologetic, and lacked any sense of remorse! Who would ever give someone like that a manager job? We all lost our appetite as my mom dunked dish rags in a pitcher of water to try to clean up a huge tartar sauce mess all over their coats! We understand accidents happen, but their lack of empathy was AWFUL. Food was just OKAY. Definitely will never return for horrible service, just okay tasting food, poorly trained management, and a huge headache."

"I tried this establishment since it’s opening and the service is severely lacking in skills. Our waiter wasn’t able to speak about flavor profiles of the cocktails. When placing our meal order, we requested flour tortilla for their tacos. When order came out, we mentioned that the tacos had been placed on corn and his response was “it only comes this way”. If he had stated that earlier, the fiber would have chooses differently. The lack of service was so apparent, we requested to speak to the manager. The manger arrives without saying his name nor did state “how may I help you”. The manger stood there and said hello. And it was just awkward. He did offer to remake the plate; but enough time had passed and my friend was starving. Instead of checking on us as we were almost the only 1 of 3 tables, no one checked in. Upon paying, we asked our waiter to just call out the names on the credit cards and his response was “I have to clean”. In the time the waiter stated that, he could had read/passed out the receipts. We asked for a manager and this time the assistant manager came to our table and this time we were just horrified about the lack of professionalism. She did comp the tacos; but if you have to speak two times to management for lack of customer service, there is an opportunity to enhance staff training and an opportunity for the manager to just check-in and take care of the table himself. Do not know if I can recommend this establishment as service and management style are not consistent with what a restaurant that wants longevity."
